Relationship Coaching
Relationship Coaching is a
powerful tool for creating the marriage you
truly desire: a relationship where your spouse is your best friend,
your partner, your soul mate. It is a relationship
that brings you joy in the good times and sustains and strengthens you
in the bad times. Too many times, couples find that marriage is
harder than they expected and not as fulfilling as they had
hoped. Whether you are
in a stage of struggle or you simply want to make a
good marriage great, relationship coaching can deliver the results you
desire. Click here

What Topics
Are Addressed During Relationship Coaching?
To begin, Carrie meets with you
and your spouse in person or over the
phone for a complimentary consultation. Carrie doesn't work with
anyone until a consultation has been completed because it is important
to discover what a couple's needs, struggles and hopes are. If it
is discovered that relationship coaching can help and that there is a
good fit, coaching can begin.
Both partners take an online
assessment called Enrich. This
165-item questionnaire and program, developed by Dr. David Olson, has
been used by over 2 million couples. It helps you uncover where
your relationship is already strong and where it needs work. The
results of this assessment are used during many of your coaching
sessions.
The areas covered during
coaching include:
- Strength and growth areas
- Communication
- Conflict resolution
- Finances
- Forgiveness
- Handling stress/Balancing priorities
- Leisure activities/dating your mate
- Relationship roles/Domestic division of labor
- Managing marriage expectations
- Children and parenting
- Personalities
- Setting personal, couple and family goals
- Peak experiences/remembering why you fell in love
- Building a vision for your future as a couple/family
- Expressing love to your mate
- Understanding your family of origin
- Spiritual beliefs
As your coach, Carrie is with
you through the entire process to teach,
guide, challenge and support you both as you do the work that creates
the marriage you had in mind when you first started out together.
